So this past weekend was the annual Cherry Blossom Soccer Tournament here in the city. This is the second year that I played with my weeknight coed team 'Trix are for Kids'. For those not familiar with the format, the tournament is setup just like the World Cup. There are 32 teams split into 8 groups of 4. The top 2 teams from each group advance to a 16 team single elimination tournament on the second day. Last year we ended up making it to the semifinals, this year we weren't as fortunate and ended up getting knocked out in the quarterfinals.
Although we got knocked out a bit earlier than I had hoped, it was still a really fun time. Among the highlights were meeting Trix the dog, catching the Cherry Blossoms and scoring 5 goals (yahoooo!!!). The lowlights were the hail/rain/cold, playing all of our saturday games on a field with a giant puddle and getting a ref on the first day that was bad yet serious.
Anyway, pictures are below. Enjoy!
I successfully avoided the mud pit all day.
Halftime talk. Jeff is not interested.
Me with Trix the dog. Our unofficial mascot.
I got mugged by this girl. No foul was called...
God is a Trix fan :)
My excellent girlfriend braved the cold, rain and hail to watch all the games.

Dave and his ridiculously hard shot. Look how high he's off the ground!
